Keep Your Child on Track During 3rd Grade
Our winter program provides a proven path for your child to improve key skills, increase confidence, and get really excited about books and reading. Click on the building blocks below to explore all the ways your child will benefit from this fun, effective program.
Strengthen Skills
One of the biggest challenges 3rd graders face is reading long words. We'll teach your child the decoding skills he or she needs to read multisyllabic words quickly and easily.
Fluency is the ability to read at a smooth, natural pace, without stopping to sound out words. We'll help your child become a skilled, fluent reader who is able to fully focus on the meaning of a story.
Understanding what you read is the key to success in all subjects, and it makes reading fun and rewarding. In our program, your child will develop strong reading comprehension and a rich vocabulary.
Build Confidence
Reading can be hard work. As your child masters new reading skills in this program, frustration, tears and resistance to reading will melt away.
In this program, your child will succeed with book after book. With strong reading skills, he or she will approach each new challenge thinking "I can do this!"
Great experiences with books are the best motivator for working on reading skills. Our expert teachers bring the wonderful books in our program to life and get kids excited about reading.
Become a Reader
With the skills your child develops in our program, he or she will be able to read with less effort and for longer periods of time in increasingly challenging books.
Discovering a love of books opens new worlds for children. Every book in our program will nurture your child's imagination, with exciting plots and engaging characters.
Regular reading has a big payoff for kids: stronger comprehension, a richer vocabulary, and greater success in school. This program will make reading an important part of your child's life, now and in the future.
How We Make Learning Last
Developing the habit of reading great books during our programs gives kids many opportunities to keep learning and growing as readers and students. There's no better way to ensure lasting success, all the way through school and into adulthood.
The impact of reading regularly - especially while school's in session - is staggering! In fact, by the time that they're in high school, students with a 20-minute per day habit can read over 1 million words in a single year. The more your child reads, the more skills he or she will master.
